@My name is mud I gave it another try. This time with my Tremoverb (Rev G). I have a feeling the model was made using the Tube Rectifier setting on the back. Once I flipped that switch on my ToV, the response was a lot closer. I think Cliff's reference amp is a particularly scooped Dual Rec. I had to boost quite a lot of midrange frequencies in the amp block's GEQ page to get it close. I'm sure I could still get it closer, but this is pretty close to my ears.
Every section/progression is played twice. The first one is the Tremoverb and the second is the Recto 1 Red model.
This time, amp settings were pretty similar for the amp and the model except for the GEQ page and raising the preamp's high frequency cut up to 11.7k. Here are the GEQ settings if it's helpful:
Type: 7-Band Const Q
100: -1.00
200: 0.25
400: 1.65
800: 2.80
1600: 2.00
3200: 0.60
6400: 0.20
Edit: The video you referenced used a Creamback speaker, so I used an M65 Creamback IR for this one. It's not the same model and mine is in a 2x12 cabinet, but it should be a little closer than the Mesa 4x12 I used in the first clip. This clip wasn't trying to get the video's tone (I think their cabinet may have been mic'ed up in a closet since it's got a TON of low-mid buildup likely due to reflections), so it's not apples to apples... just seeing if the Recto 1 Red model could get close to a real 2-Channel Rev G head.
Ha! I prefer this one ! The head is more dynamic, but it’s better
Concerning the chop’ video, the thing is that listening to it, it reminds me immediately the sound of the head. And when I tweak the one in the axe, it doesn’t.
The 7 band eq tweak you do is more then a « knob component variation ».
That’s why people are funny sometimes, saying you can find a non existent amp with tweaks, but if you don’t have the real deal at home, good luck to find it . In this case we have it normally, but … maybe it needs some revision .
